Beautiful build Simon, but I think this Bass violates one of the 10 Commandments. #5 in particular!

#1 "Thou shalt not f**k up the groove. F**k up the notes if thou must, but
not the groove."
#2 "Thou shalt not lust after thy guitar player's part. He keepeth the fun,
thou keepeth the groove."
#3 "Be thou not swayed by a drummer with crappy time, for thou art the
keeper of the beat."
#4 "Be thou not led into temptation before the gig. After is cool."
#5 "Thou pusheth thy luck with five strings, six is a mortal sin, for thou
hast no business in the upper register"
#6 "Thou shalt not thump with thy thumb, nor honk with a pick when thy
fingers are the way of truth."
#7 "Thou shalt not fear whole notes, for they can be the way and the
light."
#8 "Thou shalt leave the fancy s**t to thy bandmates, so they might wrestle
with their own bad taste."
#9 "Thou shalt change thy strings at least once per decade, whether they
need it or not."
#10 "Thou shalt tune thy bass before each and every gig, even though it was
in tune when last thou put it away"
